Pillows are an essential part of any good night’s sleep, and in the accommodations sector, they are an opportunity to have guests rave about their exceptional slumber. Pillows are a personal choice, as body shape, physical problems and sleep positions can impact which pillow is best for which guest. Because one pillow definitely does not fit all guests’ needs, pillow menus have become the norm in high-end hotel and accommodations; at the very least, alternate pillow shapes and sizes should be offered either in the closet or to be delivered. Guest loyalty programs that store information on guest pillow preferences are a wonderful way to earn repeat customers and offer a personalized sleep experience.
Here we break down how to source the right hospitality pillows to wow guests every time.
What’s Inside a Hospitality Pillow Matters
The goal is to have guests check out wondering just how their hotel pillows managed to be so comfortable. The fill of a pillow plays a major role in comfort, support, loft (height) and weight. At Eden we manufacture 100% polyester cluster fiber pillows, in soft and firm, queen and king sizes, (some options in regular size). It is now industry standard for pillow fill to be antibacterial and hypoallergenic; plus they should be machine washable.
The Best Kinds of Hotel Pillow Fills
Synthetic Down - Eden’s Opulence Synthetic Down Pillow has been specifically engineered to be the best down-alternative pillow. Constructed with polyester microfibers, duplicating the structure and feel of down, it’s gusset design provides more structure and lift creating long-lasting support.
Gel Pillow - The Innova Gel Pillow is a comfortable pillow with the feel of down, these are constructed with 100% gel fibers providing a soft bounce back feeling that adjusts to the shape of your neck creating a pocket of support. The firm fill has a cluster fiber center core and a 100% gel fiber surround. Get enhanced support while keeping the down-like comfort.

At Eden we work with 100% cotton or polyester-cotton blends to produce our pillow shells (also called ticking). These materials, along with fill, ensure durability and easy maintenance—all our pillows are machine washable. Our pillow shells are pre-shrunk; and pillow covers should be used to decrease wear and tear of the product. The lifespan of a pillow depends on varying factors, however, the best hoteliers replace their pillows every 1-2 years to ensure superior guest comfort.
